I, unfortunately, was not allowed to have one. My mom, in good faith, definitely thought I was going to be snatched from my school because my name was printed on my backpack. Although second grade me is still a little bitter, I’m still here today. (Thank you, mom!)

Although time has come and gone, and I no longer want a Pottery Barn backpack (actually-that’s a lie-I still kinda do) monograms have once again found their way back into my life.

What is it about college that makes me want to put my name on everything? I’m serious. Planners, water bottles, bags; everything. It’s a full blown addiction.

Because, let’s be honest, I have had these items in my shopping cart forever; I wanted to share mytopmonogrammablepicks with the readers of College Fashion (who may or may not be as obsessed with monograms as I am).

1. The Bag

I wouldn’t be lying if I said these Madewell bags gave me life. I saved my babysitting money forever to buy one of these babies.

2. The Sticker

Put them literally anywhere! My favorite, most cost-effective way to customize anything. Get these stickers and put them on your laptop, planner, or brand new Lilly Pulitzer/Starbucks S’well Bottle. (PSA: have you heard of these?? Get to your Starbucks now and pick one up for yourself…and send one my way! Please?)
